I really hate the current scanner system, everyone at all times know where you are "if" you have someone in your team running one, so ofcourse everyone runs one, except those that want some quality solo time.
I mean does a team of 6 really need to know where the 1 guy is at all times?
Wouldnt it have been easier to just left it at the previous system with squad vision and with eyes instead of red chevrons stuffed down your throat.
I am fine with a moderate scanner that could get a 50% chance to scan a suit without modules and go from there with addition of modules, it goes down...
But the current aproach of ...
You have been scanned
You have been scanned
You have been scanned
You have been scanned
You have been scanned
You have been scanned
Through an entire match is well ...just stupid with the scanner spam, hell why do we even have scanners when all they do is light you up 99.9% of the time ?
Ofcourse KBM cant properly use the scanner due to the equipment wheel not working properly since Uprising, so by the time you get a scanner out, 20 seconds have passed.
A scanner should be something you need to use in a dangerous situation to get a tactical advantage, not spam the **** out of it to have a WallHack 24/7.

The scanner should have a really long recharge time (like 30+ seconds). Make the scan instant as well, so you can't spin around with it. Maybe decrease the quantum scanners scan time as well. Doing that I don't see a problem with scanners being powerful.
Now that would sound like an actual Scanner, instead of the Spammer we have :p

Well, I think its quite balanced as it is right now. A scout suit needs 1 dampener to stay hidden and the medium frames need 2.
So I have to make a choice, more armor or totally invisible?
Like that dom game we played yesterday, granted, I played "smart" for once, actually defending the objective instead of going on a wannabee killspree, I was loocking down approaches With REs, playing careful etc. Going up against you, 13ear, and some more AE players, how often do you think a scrub like me goes 25-1 vs that kind of opponents?
Its never happened before.
When its me and 13ear straight up in a 1 vs 1 he'd take me out 8 out of 10 times, same With Rei. That game I killed 13ear 3 times I believe, he didn't get me at all. And thats hardly surprising, I knew exactly were he was at all times, he couldn't see me. Get shot in the back much?
So Yeah, the "You have been scanned" Message is annoying when you get it all the time. On the other hand, getting the "Scan attempt prevented" Message every 5 second is equally satisfying...
Using 2 low slots for tank or stealth is OK IMO.
With the New Galente suit we're talking about using 3 low slots, seems a tad excessive no?
Can we like forget about that game /cough i think it was my worst game ever lol
Lemme count my deaths for a second, i still remember them vividly :p
5x RE's to the face
3x shot in the back
1x shot in the face
2x Grenade to the face
Though about 2 slots, it is quite allot if your suit has only 3 slots, if i had 4 or 5 it would be ok, but having to spend 2 slots on not being visible on scanners means at any other time if they see you out in the open or see you first, yer gonna be dead if your suit isnt shield tanked.
